    The poster above has no clue what the student demographics at Cooper Union are. Most of the students are from the NYC area and have working class and/or 1st generation immigrant parents. Over 50% of the engineering students are women.

    10:35 is a paid right wing troll. They are all over the internet these days. They can't mold opinion so they just smear it. Every comment site has the same template language - where everything they say comes back to blaming something on The President and the libs. Its all they got! They just can't get over the fact that they lost WW2, 70 years later...
